Job Details

Join Cleveland Clinic Fairview Hospital and experience world-class healthcare at its best. Cleveland Clinic Fairview Hospital is a proud Magnet Hospital awarded by the American Nurses Credentialing Center, the highest honor an organization can receive for professional nursing practice.  On our team, you will provide stellar care at one of the top healthcare organizations in the nation. 

 

As a Phlebotomy Technician, you will travel to nursing homes and rehabs within a specific area, including 12 on the east side, 14 on the west and 2 on the south. Many patients often find needles and the idea of having their blood drawn frightening, so you can help them feel at ease while obtaining all the required specimens. At Cleveland Clinic, you can also explore advanced positions, such as Lead Phlebotomist, Team Lead, Supervisor and Manager.  

 

A caregiver in this position works days from 4:00AM – 12:30PM or 5:00AM – 1:30PM, with every other weekend and occasional holiday requirements.  

 

A caregiver who excels in this role will:  

• Perform blood collection for extended care clients and provide service to their residents, (primarily geriatric). 

• Perform specimen processing and send-out tasks, such as accessioning and packaging for transport.  

• Follow proper protocol when collecting samples, such as introducing yourself, verifying patient identity, collecting specimens for all tests listed on the requisition, clarifying tests, labeling specimens, transporting and centrifuging.  

• Provide STAT, scheduled and routine orders.  

• Ensure all current demographic and insurance information is obtained and verified.  

• Check appropriate paperwork for each test, patient and/or client.  

• Complete and submit appropriate administrative paperwork, such as time and mileage reports.  

• Follow proper laboratory safety procedures.  

• Be flexible to work a varied schedule as required, including early morning and afternoon shifts, and travel to patient locations.  

• Carry an on-call pager on assigned weekdays and every other weekend during the hours of 4AM – midnight, answer the pager within 15-30 minutes, arrive at the home within an hour, collect stat draws and have the specimen back to the lab within 2 hours from the time receipt of call.  

• Adhere to HIPAA guidelines.  

 

Minimum qualifications for the ideal future caregiver include:  

• High School Diploma or GED
